Lake and Lagoon has been and remains an excellent spot for a library and, if anything, maybe should be bigger than it is. Yes, it's prime real estate; yes, it has pedestrian traffic up the wazoo; yes, the transit station is right there. All those points are reasons to keep the Walker in situ.
We are shooting ourselves in the foot (both feet and one arm) by even entertaining the notion of a library/housing building. It creates more problems than it could possibly solve. And, in the bargain, we thumb our noses at THE most important, and most democratic institution we have and allowing the city to continue robbing the library for every cent they can squeeze out of it.
It's beneath contempt.
